[plowboyes]

Sounds a bit like Dylan when he did it.Great Stuff&Wonderful pictures too! Very nice indeed me old pal.A timeless tune! thanks..your friend,Sir Winnie. (hey..great whistling too!)

[manriq47]

@plowboyes Well, Sir Winston, I'm going to try and send a reply to you once again. Tried earlier today, but it was a no go. Was wondering what in the world you were doing up so early cruising the ol' youtube neighborhood AND posting comments. When I'm up that early, it's for a quick trip to the little room with the half-moon on the door and back to bed. Glad you like the tune. ~ Marcus of Whistlerson

[LillyC68]

A great cover... and a beautiful video, too.

Best regards,

Lilly

[waverleywaters]

Dear Mark,

Very well rendered and the introduction to this song was equally well done. You have a great skill for painting pictures through song and is a great quality to possess when you are singing ballads. Guitar flows smoothly with the song .

With regard to Jody Reynolds song ...I will render it sometime in the near future.:) Can't seem to take my mind off some of the songs that are currently running through me in a frenzy waiting to be sung.

Regards,

Dimple.

[manriq47]

@waverleywaters Thank you,Dimple. I really appreciate your comments. I know what you mean about so many songs running through your mind. Seems like every time you turn around you find another great song you'd like to try. Don't worry, I'm a patient guy, but I do look forward to your rendition of Jody's song. All the best to you and yours. ~ Mark

[0258jtj7]

You do an excellent cover of this timeless classic!

[manriq47]

@0258jtj7 Seems like it would be right up your alley to do. Thanks for checking out my cover. All the best. ~ Mark

[billiebigalo]

Excellent song and the rendition, very easy to listen to and one my favorites.

[manriq47]

@billiebigalo Thanks so much, billie. Appreciate it. ~ Mark

[identitytraveler]

outstanding amigo - you have a great sound

[manriq47]

@identitytraveler Very kind words. Thank you. ~ Mark

[cadwalladee]

Wow, Mark - I got a history lesson and a great rendition of a favorite song to boot! There was a period for a number of years when this was a regular in my songbook, and then it kind of faded away... kind of like things do over time, I guess. Wonderful to hear it again (by you) and to get the background on it I was lacking! Excellent!

[manriq47]

@cadwalladee Hey Scott, it would be great to hear you do a cover of this great song. I knew a guy, cadwalladee, and he'd sing for you, on ol' youtube.... ~ Mark

[facemac91]

Great cover,and really enjoyed the slide show.

[manriq47]

@facemac91 Thank you for listening and looking in. ~ Mark

[coolanddark]

Such an incredible song and VERY well done here!! Excellent video pictures to!!

[manriq47]

@coolanddark Thanks, Dan. It took a while to come up with all those pictures, but it was fun trying to match them to the lyrics. Didn't find all that I wanted, but I think the ones used pretty much tell the story as I heard it. It's raining here, which makes me think it might be time for another visit to one of your rain songs. All the best. ~ Mark

[ljped]

I love the slide show and your stories in the description are fascinating.

This song has always been a favourite and you do it justice.

Nicely done Mark.

[manriq47]

@ljped Thank you, Jack. Might it be one we could expect the ADZs to cover? All the best. ~ Mark

[oldnrone]

Great song, always liked it. I love the authors original version, but like Nancy, I really like that Nitty Gritty version too....and this one! Great video!

[manriq47]

@oldnrone Thanks, Guy. Sure looking forward to those future TVZ postings of yours. ~ Mark

[nllleonard]

Only got a quick listen at work...so had to come back and enjoy your video again!

It's really lovely, friend! ;) Especiially enjoyed the song, but the visuals and your interesting introduction are special too!

I always loved the Dirt Band's take on this song too! Do you remember that one?

Adding it to my faves. NAncy

[reliablebow]

So, now I'm sitting in the barbershop waiting for a trim(not much work for the barber I'm afraid;),and I'm listenin' to you sing this in the corner with Love...there goes that ol' jack Russell after his Master....thanks for this Mark, You spin a beautiful story, as well as a song....I'm a blessed man to know You....

[manriq47]

@reliablebow The blessings run down a two way street, friend. And, as another old barber of mine used to say, "I can take a little more off, but I can't put anymore back on." Peace. ~ Mark

[nllleonard]

Wonderful song! Thanks for letting me know you did this one!

I love your folksy and comfortable version! ;)  NAncy

[ReddWashburn]

I've always liked this song from long ago. Nice cover Mark ,I particularly like the homage to the late Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr. both great dancers in thier day.

[manriq47]

@ReddWashburn Thanks, Tom. Yep, they were all great dancers, and there were many more who, unfortunately, never got the recognition they deserved. Guess you are going to have to resend that site for your photos one more time. That gremlin I live with has an uncanny knack for deleting some of our e-mails before I get a chance to read them. Thanks, again. ~ Mark

[blinddrunkal]

I love this song, and you do a wonderful version of it! All the best :o) Alan

[manriq47]

@blinddrunkal Sure appreciate you dropping by for a listen. Cheers. ~ Mark
